Building Your World With Maybe's & Never's!

"Live the life your living, like it's the only one you've got!" 3 Doors Down

How true is that! The title of this blog entry also refers to the song lyrics, we all do this, build our world full of maybe's and never's! Why, because it is the easier path! It is the path well traveled, and not the path less traveled.

"Maybe one day I will lose the extra weight."
"Maybe one day I can look like a bodybuilder."
"Maybe one day I will be a better example to my children."
"I'll never lose this weight."
"I'll never be a bodybuilder."
"I'll never, never, never, never.............."

Listen, we all make mistakes, we all try and give up and try again, however, if we work together our chances are greater for success! Let's do it! I believe in you and you believe in you! Together there is nothing we cannot do!


And speaking of the path less travelled, how about Robert Frost in 1920 when he wrote The Road Not Taken. I give it to you now to read!

"TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, 10

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. 15

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference." 20


It makes all the difference, because it is unique to you, it is something that only you can take and cherish. You make the effort and it pays off. Words to live by! There is no reason not to try a new path, unless it seems too good to be true.

Let me lead you down the path less traveled. The path that requires a little bit of work on your part, a little bit of work on my part to lead you there, and a great deal of celebration at the end.

I do not claim to be a miracle worker, nor do I claim to be perfect. I am still 30 pounds away from my goal weight and my goal of entering and competing in a bodybuilding show! How is that for the road less traveled. The work that I do and the knowledge I share will not make me rich, but it will certainly enrich my life and those around me!

E-mail today and let me help you down that path!
